Chapter 149 The final battle
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Li Shanchang, go to the treasury to get some more silver and let Deng Yu take it. For the Ming army, we should prepare thicker gifts and so on, so as not to ruin our reputation. What about the generals present here getting married in the future?" It’s also more convenient. Deng Yu, you go and come back quickly. Ji Dabiao can rest for a few more days and make an incense stick for his old Ji’s house. After you drink the wedding wine, you will bring someone back. Prepare well. The troops in Hangzhou and Huzhou have already arrived. They are almost wiped out by us, so take this opportunity to fight over, and you won’t have to worry about not being able to take down these two cities.”

Deng Yu said happily: "Yes! The general has received the order, go and return as soon as possible."

In Pingjiang (Suzhou) City, Zhang Shicheng was hunched over studying a map. A soldier from outside the door ran in in a panic and knelt down in front of Zhang Shicheng: "Your Majesty! Gaoyou fell! General Zhang Shiyi died for his country!"

"What?" Zhang Shicheng straightened up, with a look of astonishment on his face, "Gaoyou fell? Shiyi died?"

The soldier replied decisively: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Shicheng's face turned pale in an instant, and he slumped down on the chair, a stagnant air clogged his chest, and after a while, it turned into blood and sprayed out from his mouth.

Zhang Shicheng pushed away the imperial doctor who came in a hurry to give his pulse, to look at his complexion, and to prepare for acupuncture.

He walked to the door, held the door frame and shouted loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang! You killed two of my brothers in a row! You and I are incompatible with each other. We are incompatible with each other! If I don't kill you in this life, I, Zhang Shicheng, will never kill you even if I become a ghost." Let you go!"

Min Min Te Moore also just received the news of Gaoyou's fall, and rushed from Wang Baobao overnight, and heard Zhang Shicheng's roar as soon as he entered the door.She walked up to Zhang Shicheng with the letter in her hand and said, "Brother, you still have to pay attention to your health. This is the letter my brother asked me to bring to you. After several years of rest, I, Dayuan, have regained some strength. Now the blood of the Mongolian cavalry The wolf nature has awakened, and Zhu Yuanzhang's troops are about to face the crushing of my Dayuan iron cavalry! Brother, don't worry, my brother has already built a big boat, and the Mongolian iron cavalry will cross the river soon, and we will destroy Zhu Yuanzhang with you!"

Zhang Shicheng's eyes were red: "Zhu Yuanzhang! I want you to die! I want you to die!"

Half a month later, Zhu Yuanzhang buried the bodies of Zhang Shixin and Zhang Shiyi, and ordered Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to lead an army each to attack Hangzhou and Huzhou.Xu Da's troops cooperated well with each other. The feint attack and the main attack were both false and real. The Hangzhou defenders were stunned. Three days later, Hangzhou was defeated and Xu Da led his army to take control of Hangzhou.Chang Yuchun was not so particular. Once the war drums sounded, he rushed forward immediately. The soldiers behind him saw that their coach was so brave. How dare they not die?A group of cavalry howled and rushed to the top of Huzhou City, like Shura from hell, with red eyes and fearless death.It only took Huzhou City less than a morning to change the banner at the top of the city from "Wu" to "Ming".

At the same time, under the precise calculations of Liu Bowen and Song Lian, the entire Ming army was divided into more than a dozen teams to attack Zhang Shicheng's sphere of influence.Tang He, Feng Sheng, Feng Yong, Deng Yu, Fu Youde, Hu Dahai, Hu Weiyong, and Yu Tonghai led troops everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and a group of emerging generals rose in actual combat. Among them, the two most eye-catching people, One is Li Wenzhong and the other is Lan Yu.

Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. When he first entered the army, he was still an ignorant child. Later, after Liu Bowen's training and Xu Da and Tang He's earnest guidance, he became a young general with both wisdom and courage.He led his cavalry to conquer several cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was highly praised by the generals.

Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, also known as brother-in-law.He followed Chang Yuchun to fight everywhere. He fought bravely and wisely. Every time Chang Yuchun just rushed forward, he was the one arranging his troops in the rear. Chang Yuchun was behind the scenes and never gave the enemy anything to take advantage of. opportunity.In today's terms, he is the man behind Chang Yuchun.

For these rising stars, Zhu Yuanzhang was not stingy, and exchanged the souls of Zhang Fei, Li Mu and other ancient famous generals from the system to attach to them, making these people even more powerful and invincible.

Two months later, Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the map, looked at the map full of small flags, and his gaze fell on the last spot that was not covered by small flags: "Pingjiang is left. Brother, the entanglement between our brothers, It's time to make a break."

During this period of time, Zhang Shicheng was not idle either. He spent every minute and every second repairing the city wall of Pingjiang. The original city wall was doubled in height and three meters thicker. The bricks on the outside of the city wall were also made into angular shapes, perfect The combination of modern mechanics knowledge.He even piled up the entire city with supplies for defending the city. As long as he can hold on for a month, once Wang Baobao's Yuan army arrives, Zhu Yuanzhang will be attacked by the enemy, unable to support him alone. At that time, it will be clear who will win and who will win.

For this battle, Zhang Shicheng was full of sincerity. He used to rely on the small city of Gaoyou to hold off a million-strong army for three months. Now Pingjiang's city walls are taller and thicker, with more soldiers and better equipment. Not a problem at all.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang is not Tuotuo, and the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang are not those wastes with big bellies who can do nothing but drink, sleep and play with women.

From the very beginning of this battle, Zhang Shicheng felt unprecedented pressure.

Millions of Ming troops surrounded Pingjiang. Because they had been scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang when they went to battle in Wuchang, the generals came to the commander's tent obediently this time. After greeting each other, they asked Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions: "Your Majesty, how should we fight this battle? ?”

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, and Wang said domineeringly: "How to fight? Do you need to ask? There are millions of troops here, why do you pretend to be the main attacker? Everyone is the main attacker. You bring your own teams and just fight. "

As soon as these words came out, all the generals burst into laughter, and then each of them took their army and began to attack.

When Deng Yu was guarding Hongdu, he experienced the refreshing taste brought by gunpowder. During this journey, every time he attacked the city, he had to search for gunpowder weapons and masters who were proficient in this field, respectfully Please go to the White Tiger Regiment. The current White Tiger Regiment can basically be regarded as a hot weapon force. Except for a few Shenji Battalions that are fully equipped with muskets, there are still a few divisions that are equipped with red cannons. See Deng Yu didn't even think about the towering walls of Pingjiang City. He waved his flag and shouted loudly, "Give me a f*ck!"

Hundreds of cannons in red were lined up, blasting at the city wall of Pingjiang.

The rounded cannonball hit the convex corners of the city wall and was cleverly bounced off. Zhang Shicheng's city wall building technology was still very advanced.

After a whole morning of bombardment, the effect was very small. If it were another general, he might have given up the artillery and led the people to reunite. It was a pity that Deng Yu was leading the team.
